Re: Snort Tests?

[Keith A. Glass <salgak () speakeasy net>]

Well, if you're looking to embed full-up testing, I'd think that was overkill.  That, of course, will depend on the 
resources available to 
your embedded system: I have little expertise there.   I'd think more along the lines of maybe a customized test tool 
packaged separately.

Or just a suggested suite of tests from a standardized security distribution, i.e. BackTrack, Helix, etc. .
